I just got my Galaxy S4 and i love the phone, but my phone keeps turning off by itself in my pocket. Then i noticed that the phone turns off when i hold the power button for 10 or more second even when i don't hit the power off menu from the screen. Does anyone know how to disable this? It's really annoying, i found this article below, but can't seems to find anything to disable it. My phone is rooted so i can freeze any system app from titanium, just don't know what to disable.

My phone will a shut off with a slight touch of the power button. A gentle touch of the power button would bring up the shut off, restore, airplane mode option then would turn off the phone. when it shuts off on it own, when trying to turn on the phone the "samsung galaxy s4" logo show but then it shuts off again. i replace the battery already so i narrow it down the power button. please help this is super annoying.

power button is broken
Hi all,
I have accident on sea where one wave splashed a bag where my phone was. After small problems with "laggy" buttons everything went fine and my phone worked correctly except power button. It doesn't react. I couldn't even restart the phone. And when my battery was used I coudnt turn it on. I tried to press volume up + power button million times, or all 4 buttons, and somehow I manage to turn it on again while still I was on vacation. Few times I have entered Android recovery screen, and Power button worked perfectly there (I managed to press power button and select reboot device). And after the phone turn on power button would usually works few minutes and then it would died again.
I have installed software for simulation of power button and it worked ok. This morning somehow I decided to turn off my phone, and I couldn't even imagine what kind of problems I will have to turn it on again. Whole day I am trying to turn it on, but it doesn't react. When I pull in charger then it shows regularly battery status (70%). I am desperate :crying:
I am trying to google or find any solution how to bring it ON again without power button, but without success
Is there any way how could I turn Samsung galaxy S6 Edge Plus without power button?
And what you think, is this some kind of software problem, and maybe some factory reset or flashing might help? Or it is more likely hardware problem?
Many thanks in advance.
Can anyone help me?
I have just found this article which might help me:
How to turn ON Galaxy S6 without using the power button:
When the Galaxy S6 or Galaxy S6 Edge is turned off, press and hold the volume button for a few seconds.
While holding the volume button, connect the Galaxy to a computer using a USB cable.
Wait for your phone to boot to Download mode.
Then press down on the volume rocker to cancel the operation.
After the operation has canceled, the Galaxy will reboot and turn on.
You have successfully turned on the Galaxy S6 without using the power button.

But somehow this doesn't work for my phone? First I wasnt sure which volume button should be pressed, so I tried with both in all combinations and still cant get into Download mode.
But I am glad that samsung had created some workaround if power button is not working. THis used to work on older models I guess.
Is there anyone who might know the way how to turn on phone without power button?
Hello,
I've recently tried CF auto rooting my S7 edge, as I've rooted all my previous phones. I must of flashed the wrong ROM and am now stuck at the "Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge" screen with the "powered by android" on the bottom. I'm unable to power off the phone, nor go into recovery mode (or any other mode for that matter). When holding down the Volume down + Power + Home button, the phone seems like it 'restarts'. The screen goes black but then it goes right back to the Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge screen. Is there anything I am able to do to restore the phone? Any help would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks
As the phone good black, release the home button, but keep holding the volume down and power. This should place you in download mode.

I've tried every possible button combination, nothing happens. I did manage to solve the issue, I let the phone die then as I plugged the phone into the charger and tried booting into recovery again it worked. No idea what that did, must of been a fluke.
